Ten Mile Creek SFWA Farm Lease #2028 (01/31/2013)

The Department of Natural Resources is requesting Offers
(bids/proposals) from responsible Vendors to meet the State's needs. Below
is a brief description of our needs with detailed requirements in subsequent
sections of this solicitation. If you are interested and able to meet these
requirements, please submit an Offer.

The acreage for farm lease is: approximately 199.6 acres in 2013, 253 acres in 2014, 256.2 acres in 2015, and 261.4 acres in 2016.

Many Department of Natural Resources owned or managed lands contain tillable acreage. These lands have the potential to generate revenue if used to grow agricultural products. It is the Department’s policy to minimize the use of such lands for agricultural production in favor of establishing annual or permanent wildlife habitats. However, the Department also recognizes that certain agricultural practices and farm income can provide needed resources for wildlife habitat, improving habitat diversity, developing cover and edge effect, and maintaining annual vegetative stages.

Public Act 95-971 contains registration
requirements regarding bids and proposals submitted by vendors. You must
read and comply with the requirements. See
www.purchase.state.il.us for additional information.

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY In compliance with the State
and Federal Constitutions, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the U.S. Civil
Rights Act, and Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act, the State of
Illinois does not discriminate in employment, contracts, or any other
activity.
